Obama, live from Berlin, around 1pm Eastern - watch it here

Video of the speech can be viewed at Jedreport.

More lameness from the Washington Post:

Barack Obama isn't speaking in Berlin until 1:15 eastern time today but the crowds are already massing. Rumors are that one million people could show up although Obama himself dismissed such suggestions, telling reporters: "I doubt we're gonna have a million screaming Germans."

A huge crowd today could be a mixed blessing for Obama. On the one hand, it is a potent symbol of the excitement his candidacy has caused worldwide. On the other, thousands and thousands of cheering Germans may not play well stateside.

A million screaming Germans? What is that supposed to mean? And while, yes, Americans don't like fur-ners telling us how to vote, this would be the first time that anyone in the media, to my knowledge, has suggested that Obama's raucous world tour has the chance to hurt him. Sure, it's John McCain's line - though, funny, McCain didn't mind doing his own world tour in March, and then again a few weeks ago. Maybe the Post would be happier if no one showed up for Obama, that would go over much better with the American people. Whatever. Obama claimed the mantel of commander in chief this week. Deal with it.
